A "Chavista" demonstrator, and supporter of President-elect Nicolas Maduro, holds a photo of the late President Hugo Chavez during a march in front of the National Electoral Council (CNE) in Caracas, Venezuela, Wednesday, April 17, 2013. Opposition candidate Henrique Capriles has presented a series of allegations of vote fraud and other irregularities to back up his demand for a vote-by-vote recount for the presidential election. Maduro, the hand-picked successor of the late Hugo Chavez, was declared the winner by 262,000 votes out of 14.9 million cast, and Capriles contends the purported abuses add up to more than Maduro's winning margin.

Graphs are reflected in a broker's spectacles while working in a trading room of a Portuguese bank in Lisbon, Wednesday, April 17, 2013. Portugal has raised euro 1.75 billion (USD2.29 billion) in a debt auction that saw its longer-term interest rate rise in a fresh bout of investor jitters about the bailed-out country and the wider euro area. Portugal is trying to lower its debt load after needing a 78 billion euro (USD102.41 billion) rescue two years ago but is struggling to meet its targets after a series of economic and legal setbacks. The recent bailout for Cyprus indicated the 17-country eurozone's troubles are far from over. (AP Photo/Francisco Seco)
